Chapter 379 The next one will be better
Li Dalu's visit reminded Chen Jianghe of the American standing behind the Penguin Group.
At the beginning of Tencent's business, although it experienced rapid growth in just one year and the number of QQ users exceeded one million, it did not bring any profits to the company. Due to lack of funds, it was even so poor that it could not even afford to rent a server, so much so that Tony Ma once wanted to sell QQ.
Later, a young American visited Tony Ma. He valued Tencent at 60 million US dollars at that time and finally persuaded the financial backer to purchase 46.5% of Tencent's shares for 32 million US dollars.
After the transaction was completed, the American joined Penguin as chief exploration officer, helping to facilitate Penguin's cooperation with mobile phone companies such as Nokia and Motorola, launching mobile QQ, cooperating with Google to enter the search field, and investing in and acquiring Riot Games, which developed the hit game "League of Legends", making a lot of money in the gaming field.
"This Li Daluo was most likely sent by Penguin."
Chen Jianghe sat in the office, thinking about the conversation he had just had with Li Dalu and pondering the history of the Penguin Group's rise.
At the same time, he is also thinking about how to accelerate the commercial promotion of Guochat Voice. If he wants to overcome the huge mountain of Penguin Group, he must act quickly.
"The combination of campus promotion and exclusive sponsorship of variety shows should have a good effect and help Siqi Culture Media Company grow and develop."
A more mature plan quickly came to Chen Jianghe's mind. In terms of marketing on university campuses, the Light Chaser City Legion had rich experience, and they could spend money on variety shows. The marketing method could refer to the later Pinxixi.
"We are still missing a promotional song. The lyrics and music should be catchy enough and should appeal to all ages."
Chen Jianghe touched his chin and thought seriously: "Fruit chat voice, Fruit chat voice..."
"You are my little apple, and I can never love you enough."
"Damn, it fits!"
Chen Jianghe slapped the table and stood up, his eyes sparkling: "It's a good time to sign the Chopstick Brothers before they become an Internet sensation."
With a slight creak, the secretary pushed the door open and asked nervously, "Boss, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"fine."
Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to call the secretary: "Come here."
"Oh." Lin Siqi walked quickly towards him.
Chen Jianghe reached out and held her pretty cheeks, then leaned in and took a light bite without saying a word.
"So sweet." Chen Jianghe complimented with a smile, and then said: "When autumn comes in eastern Guangdong, I will buy a big motorcycle and take you for a ride."
Lin Siqi's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"If you don't like motorcycles, let's buy a sports car." Chen Jianghe said.
Lin Siqi smiled sweetly: "Sports cars are too high-profile and don't match my boss's temperament. Motorcycles are better. They give me a sense of chasing the wind, and they can also..."
She paused halfway through her speech, pursed her lips and her eyes flickered as if she was thinking about something good.
"What else can you do?" Chen Jianghe asked with a smile.
Lin Siqi blinked: "I can put on the prettiest miniskirt and hug you tightly from behind."
Chen Jianghe nodded: "It's you who's thinking about how to seduce the boss all the time."
"Ah? I didn't..." Lin Siqi pouted and denied.
"No need to deny it ." Chen Jianghe whispered in her ear very seriously: "Mrs. Chen can flirt with me however she wants, I will cooperate unconditionally."
"Hey~ The boss is suddenly so sweet, he must have some important instructions, right?" Lin Siqi knew Chen Jianghe too well.
"Smart." Chen Jianghe pinched her delicate little earlobe and explained seriously what to do next.
…
Autumn in eastern Guangdong always comes half a beat slower than in other cities in the country. By the end of September, the cool morning breeze finally brings a hint of autumn.
“We always think too badly of life, like the weird things that others don’t allow us to be. Every unique cloud needs to find the sky to exist.”
In the vocal room of Xinghai Conservatory of Music, Yi Caiwei is practicing singing.
"We are all used to wandering around, but we can't get used to being relied on."
Her voice is pure, with layers of emotions developing without any unnecessary or artificial showmanship.
The most commendable thing is that there is a hint of crying in Yi Caiwei's gentle voice, as if she is telling her own story. Her red and moist peach blossom eyes, with a firmness in her tenderness, almost perfectly match the emotions expressed in this song.
Besides her, there was another young man sitting in the room. He was listening to the song quietly until Yi Caiwei finished singing. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes and he couldn't help but raise his hands to applaud: "You sang well."
"Thank you, Senior Chen."
Yi Caiwei nodded with tears in her eyes and thanked Chen Jianghe.
Chen Jianghe felt a little touched.
He once saw a girl singing this song on a variety show and was deeply impressed.
That girl’s singing skills are stronger than Yi Caiwei’s, and her emotional expression is more delicate, but her appearance is far inferior to Yi Caiwei. In this age where looks matter, appearance is often more important than strength.
If you are beautiful and talented, and with capital management, you will most likely become popular.
"Just practice a few more times, and it will be enough if you can perform at the same level as today when you go on the show."
Chen Jianghe looked at her with satisfaction and stood up: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Yi Caiwei walked over silently to see him off, and stopped at the door.
"Boss."
Chen Jianghe walked out. It was drizzling outside. Zhou Jinfu appeared beside him holding a black umbrella.
Chen Jianghe looked at him, then looked around and said in surprise: "I suddenly realized that there is no girl around where you are."
"Maybe it's because I look too fierce, so the girls stay away from me when they see me."
Zhou Jinfu grinned and said, "The timid boys would hide when they saw me."
"Then how did you find a girlfriend?" Chen Jianghe asked.
Zhou Jinfu smiled and said, "My girlfriend is very nearsighted."
His words reminded Chen Jianghe of the topic they had talked about when they first met in the Internet cafe in 2006, so he casually asked, "How are you and your girlfriend getting along now? You should be getting married soon, right?"
"No, we've already broken up. She went back to her hometown to have someone else's child." Zhou Jinfu scratched his head and said, "She said I had no future as a security guard, and I slapped her twice. How could I have no future if I followed a big boss?"
"I'll protect your future." Chen Jianghe patted his shoulder and comforted him, "The next girlfriend will be better."
"I'd like to borrow your good words, sir."
Zhou Jinfu smiled innocently.
“Buzz buzz buzz.”
Chen Jianghe's phone vibrated. It was a call from the company's vice president Deng Yongqing: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhao from the Brilliant Group and Mr. Liu from the Fantasy Group are visiting at the same time and want to meet with you."
"Mr. Liu from Fantasy Group?"
Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows.
Liu Junwu, chairman of Fantasy Group, is one of the most well-known entrepreneurs in the country. He has been touted by the media many times as the "business godfather" and has a very high status in the business world.
"Yes, Mr. Liu's daughter, Liu Zijin, is also traveling with us," Deng Yongqing reported.
"Got it. You receive them first, I'll be there in a bit."
Chen Jianghe responded calmly. After hanging up the phone, he raised his hand and placed it on Zhou Jinfu's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to meet the big brother in the business world."
